State of Kentucky Harrison County ss
On this the 12 th March 1833 personally appeared in open Court, before the Harrison County Court, Moses Endecott a resident of Bourbon County and state aforesaid, aged Twenty three years, who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of an act of Congress passed June 7. 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States in the month of October 1777 under the command of Capt. Low Hardin who commanded a company of volunteers in Col. Joseph Williams Regiment of North Carolina Militia, and served a tour of three months. That at the expiration of the tour he was regularly and honorably discharged. That afterwards about the first of March 1778 he again entered the service of the United States as a volunteer for twelve months under Capt. M c Underwood who commanded a company of horse, in Col. Benjamin Cleveland's Regiment of North Carolina troops - and was engaged during nearly the whole tour in expeditions against the Tories, without any thing remarkable except a few unimportant skirmishes. That at the expiration of the twelve months he was not discharged - but agreed to continue in the service under the same officers as a Minute Man, to march at a moment's warning to any point that it might be deemed important to disperse bands of Tories who were keeping the country in constant confusion or to check any invasions the British might make. That accordingly from early in April 1779 they were engaged in scouring the upper part of North Carolina for the purpose of checking the outrages of Tories and the influence of the British who made great efforts to seduce the people to the cause of Great Britain. That this course was continued until about the first of March 1780 when he commenced a new service, which was the packing of lead from Chesler Mine on

New River in Virginia, that he continued in this employment until a few days previous to the Battle of Camden in which Genl. Gates was defeated - that they were on their way to the Gnones when news of that defeat reached them and that circumstance stopped their trip. The lead was packed across the mountains for the use of the army under the command of Genl. Rutherford and afterwards of Genl. Gates. That after Genl. Gates defeat, he still continued in the service and was engaged in some severe skirmishes with the Tories in Henry County Virginia near a place called the Big Glades on New River - and also in the upper part of S. Carolina. That a short time previous to the noted Battle of Kings Mountain he had met with the misfortune to have his horse stolen by the Tories and was by that circumstance prevented from being in that engagement. That he was on foot & with the foot soldiers had taken a route different from the Horse with the view to intercept the British Commander Major Ferguson - but that the party with which he was associated did not participate in the battle. That he continued in the service on foot about six weeks and was then permitted to go home.
But a few days after his arrival at home, news of a large collection of Tories about the big glades induced him again to join his Company on horseback & he aided in breaking up their Camp. Genl. Greene had then taken command of our army, and the vigilance of the British & Tories required his Company to be continually on the alert, and they were accordingly active all the winter. He will recollect

Shortly after the Battle of the Cowpens, the Tories were rising in considerable numbers; and that he was engaged in several very severe skirmishes with them British on the Reedy fork of Haw river. He states that shortly after these skirmishes, in which only a few days the Battle of Guilford Court House was fought in the Spring  winter of 1781. and that then he left the service
He states that altho he was at home repeatedly from March 1778 until March 1781 - yet he was altogether in the service of the United States all the time - being enrolled as a Minute man and being at home when there at all only for a few days - and he further states that he kept his Horse for the service all the time from March 1778 to March 1781 - a period of three years - and that he had previously served a term of three months under Capt Hardin. He states that whilst so in the service of the United States he relinquished all other pursuits - that the greater part of the time he was in the service he was in North Carolina, but frequently in Virginia South Carolina & Georgia that he resided in Surry County North Carolina during his service & that he remained there after the war until 1786. when he removed to Kentucky where he now resides - That he will recollect Col Campbell, Col Shelby, Maj Franklin Genl Rutherford, besides the officers already named That he was born in Princeton, New Jersey in Oct r 1759 and has a record of his age in an old family Bible, now in his possession - That he is well known to John Miller, N. B Coleman & Col Isaac Miller

who can speak of his claims to credibility
He states that he has no documentary evidence - and knows of no person by whom he can prove his services, except his younger Brother Tho: Endecott & M rs Sarah Beacom, the daughter of M r Hill dec d , who served with him in the same company - that the statement of his Brother & M rs Beacom is filed herewith
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state - Sworn & subscribed the day & year a- foresaid ---

Mrs. Mabel McCloskey R. R. # 1 Camden, Indiana
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter of recent date, in regard to photostatic copies of papers on file in Revolutionary War claim, R. 3348, Moses Endecott or Endicott, the cost of which was stated in a former office letter.
As previously stated, the number of pages which contain the statements made by the soldier, Moses Endecott, his widow, Wellmett, and his brother, Thomas, is twenty-five.
It will interest you to know that a full record of this soldier will be furnished you without charge. The papers in the claim, R. 3348, have been carefully examined and the data given below have been found, which, it is believed, will aid you materially in your research.
Moses Endecott or Endicott was born in October, 1759, in Burlington, New Jersey.
He enlisted in October, 1777, while residing in Surry County, North Carolina, and served three months as a private in Captain William Hardin's company in Colonel Joseph Williams' North Carolina regiment.

He moved to Bourbon County, Kentucky, in 1786, where he was living when allowed pension on his application executed March 12, 1833.

He died April 24, 1834, or May 8, 1834, in Bourbon County, Kentucky, or in Harrison County, Kentucky. There is no explanation given as to these discrepancies.
Soldier married March 27, 1834, in Harrison County, Kentucky, Wellmett Endecott, the widow of Joseph Endecott, of Nicholas County, Kentucky. At that time he was referred to as Moses Endecott, Senior.

It is stated that she had no children by her husband, Moses Endecott, but that she had three sons in the War of 1812. Names of her sons are not designated.
On September 14, 1832, Thomas Endecott, then aged about sixty-one years, made affidavit in Harrison County, Kentucky, in support of the claim for pension of his brother, Moses Endecott, and stated that he (Thomas) was young during the Revolutionary War but that he remembered distinctly the service of his brother Moses on frequent tours and that they then lived in Surry County, North Carolina, and that he (Moses) with all his family left North Carolina about the year 1786 and settled in Kentucky, where the family then (1832) resided, some in Bourbon and others in Harrison County, Kentucky. He did not give any family names.
One Samuel Endecott was clerk of the County Court of Harrison County, Kentucky, in 1833, no relationship to the family shown.

No other family data appear in the papers on file. As stated, no charge is made for this service.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter of July 26, with which you enclosed money order for $3.75 to cover cost of photostatic copies of twenty-five pages on file in Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 3348, based upon service of Moses Endecott in that war.
Since quotation of fifteen cents a page for photostatic copies was made to you on September 27, 1933, the cost of such copies has been increased to twenty-five cents a page.
The cost of photostatic copies requested by you, without certification, now will be $6.25.
If you desire the copies made at increased cost, please remit by money order drawn to the Treasurer of the United States, $2.50, the additional amount necessary; if not, $3.75 will be refunded, as you may direct.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter of December 19, 1932, in which you state a typewritten copy of papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim, R. 3348, Moses Endecott, widow Wellmett, will be all you need in your collection of data, instead of a photostatic copy.
As stated in office letter of September 27, 1932, the cost of photostatic copies will be $3.75 without certification, and $4.00 with certification. The cost of typewritten copies would far exceed that amount, and would prove less satisfactory, because photostatic copies show exact signatures, handwriting, etc.
The name of only one Joseph Endecott appears in the above noted claim. He was the former husband of Wellmett, the widow of Moses Endecott as stated in office letter to you on November 15, 1932, in which letter was incorporated, also, the statement of Thomas Endecott in regard to his age, residence, brother Moses, etc.

Dear Sir: - In answer to letter BA-2/mm HF:MLB I wish to state that evidently I used the wrong word in my request for an exact copy of the pension papers of Moses Endecott .
I do not care for a photo-stated copy but a typed copy would serve as well. I want a copy of the exact words used. The part I really desire is the affidavit made by Thomas Endecott.

So you see a typed copy would serve my purpose. What is the charge for a typed copy?
I understand that there is a mention of two Joseph Endecotts in these papers. Will you give the data concerning both? Thanks.

Dear Sir:— In answer to letter on opposite side of this sheet.
I am not especially interested in the details of Moses Endecott's military activities but am particularly anxious to have a copy of the pages which contain the following data of Moses Endecott: names of parents; when and where born; where he enlisted; when he came to Ky.
Then as to the Deposition made by Thomas Endecott Jr. I would like it in full unless it mentions military details. Thomas Jr. was my great grandfather and I especially want what he says about himself. i.e.: date of deposition; his age; where he lived; where they lived in N. Carolina; (in Ky.) when they came to Ky. etc.
If this material can be copied on 6 or less pages, please advise me and I shall send the proper amount of money to cover expense.
I shall appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

Dear Sir - Would you kindly send me the Revolutionary War Record of Moses Endicott a private in the Revolutionary War.
According to records held by the Endicott family he enlisted first in 1777 under Capt. Wm Harden and Col. Joseph Williams in North Carolina (Probably Surrey Co).
He enlisted again March 1778 and served until March 1781.
The Endicott records says he drew a pension.
If there is any mention made of his wife please include that too. In fact any information that might be on the Pension Records will be information I am desiring.

Dear sir:-
In reply to your letter of April 8 concerning the military history of very Isaac Lofty will state our family record shows that Mr. Lofty saw service during the Revolutionary war in a light horse brigade; that he was a pensioner and always went to Knoxville, Tenn., to draw his pension money. Whether Isaac was his full given name the record fails to show. It might be possible he also saw service during the war of 1812. He died about 1832.
7th new
If possible I would also like the military history of Captain Thomas Mullen and Moses Endicott, both of whom saw service in the Revolutionary war.
Captain Mullen was stationed at Pittsburgh, Pa., at the close of the Revolution. He moved to Kentucky in 1783. The records in my possession fail to show whether he was a pensioner.
Moses Endicott enlisted in North Carolina about 1777 and served to the end of the war. He moved to Kentucky in 1786 and died there in 1834. He was a pensioner at the time of his death.

That she knew that said Endecott entered into the American Service during the revolutionary war and that she remembers it well because her father, the late William Hill went into the service at the same time - That she knows that said Endecott served in the army a considerable length of time, but cannot state how long. The said Deponent further states that she resided in North Carolina, in the same neighbor- hood with said Moses Endecott, perhaps not more than three quarters of a mile apart & that she can never forget the circumstances of those times. She further states that she has been living in the same neighborhood in Kentucky for many years & now resides near him. That she has been acquainted with him & his family for sixty years or thereabout, not quite; That she will not state the years she has been acquainted with him, because she cannot, nor will she state the year when said Endecott entered the

the American army - but she very well recollects that M r Woodworth was his Captain & that Jesse Franklin was the Mayor. The other officers she does not recollect. This deponent further states that it is well known generally understood in the neighborhood where he resides that the said Moses Endicott was a soldier of the Revolution - and for the South not sworn to this 12 th Sept 1832 Sarah J. Beattie mark
The deposition of Thomas Endicott aged about sixty one years - duly sworn - says that he was young during the revolution, but distinctly recollects that his Brother Moses was frequently out in the service of the United States or Colonies & that he Moses (he) was in the service & it was always said at the time that he was one of Under- wood light horse - that he recollects well of hearing of several skirmishes while his Bro- ther was in the army - as well as he can recollect in the neighborhood of Kings mountain - such was the reports in the neighborhood where they resided in North Carolina, Surry County. that he cannot say how long his Brother was

in the service, but recollects that he was frequently out. This Deponent well recollects Capt Underwood & Maj Franklin, who were the officers under whom his Brother served - and states that he with all his family left Carolina about the year 86 and settled in Kentucky, where the family now resides - some in Bourbon & others in Harrison County, close together -

I write you
for the purpose of gaining some information relative to a pension which was applied for by Melvina Condicot of Posey Co Indiana through her attorney L. D. Stickney, for her husband, Moses Condicot's services in the war of the Revolution. Has the claim ever been adjusted if so did Mr Stickney ever receive the money, & what amount. If not what proof will be necessary to establish her claim, her husband received a pension up to the time of his death he died in Kentucky about 18 years ago, Mr Stickney made the application a little over two years ago for her. Any information you can give me relative to the matter will be thankfully received by John B. Harris

Sir.
Application was made by Mrs: Welnet Endicot, as widow of Moses Endicot, a revolutionary soldier, in 1850, for a pension, the claim rejected on the ground that there was no law under which a widow could receive a pension, who was married subsequent to 1800.
If Mrs: Endicot be living, I wish a pension under the Act of Feby: 3 rd 1853, (being the only act under which she can properly claim) she must make a declaration to that effect, identifying herself as the widow of said Moses who was a pensioner, & establish the fact by good evidence that she is still a widow.
I herewith enclose to you a Circular, issued by this office, relating to such cases, by which you will be guided in case application is made.
I have the honor,

Another certificate of marriage must be procured, as the one transmitted is doubtless inaccurate.

Dear Sir: Enclosed you will find the claim of Mrs. Wellman Endacott , for back pension due her, as the widow of Nathaniel Endacott , a Revolutionary Pensioner of the Lexington Kentucky Agency. You will find her marriage certificate accompanies the claim; and if any other evidence than what is here offered is required, for the settlement of said claim, I am not aware of it.

Please acknowledge the receipt of this communication as soon as your convenience will permit.
